As I said before the design has changed due to the orbital model I’m basing the application on and my lack of AS3.0 knowledge. It seems to be a complete shift from AS2.0 and I’m struggling with the inner workings.
Here is what is up so far.

At the moment the middle image is stock but will be changed to the logo once developed.

Well, i thought there would be more coverage of the history of food but records are shaky and people seem not to be interested. Unfortunately this has left me with the rather unreliable source of wikipedia. This data can be found here.
This simply shows when certain foodstuffs were introduced into Britain.
Well its been a few weeks and progress is good. Instead of scrolling back through the screen the application will be side scrolling. Unfortunately there is no indication of the dates i the ark of taste and thererfore is impossible to do with this data. A few hours of scouring the web has led to a timeline of when food was introduced to britain. This data will now become the mainstay of my project.
Well thats from Back to the Future and nothing to do with this, well it kind of is. The now present problem is the time machine element of my ark of taste. This is not really going to be possible in the original sense of moving back through the screen but instead in a different way. Furthermore the current ark of taste includes no reference dates for when the food was lost.
